Tennis Tipping #3 | Australian Open | Congrats to xiiergai and Jaco·He/safinfans629!!

What is Tennis Tipping?

In the game, participants pick the winners of all main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.

In case a player (i.e. the actual WTA Player), the retirement WILL count in TT, as long as the first point has been played, but they do not count for SRs or for TBs.

- If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.

3 Month + 100 posts Rule: One can only play this game if he has created an account in this forum at least 3 months ago AND has at least 100 posts. An exception is made for veteran MTF players (if you have played TT for 3 months or longer on MTF, then you can play TT on TF immediately.

Just post here that you would like to play. You can only play one tournament per week. Entries will be based on ranking. Everyone can commit.

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner inevery match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [TT: Melbourne, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you are in singles and doubles then you can use different picks for each if you want to. For doubles, you still tip the WTA singles matches, not the doubles! No changes can be made after the play has started.
You have to send picks before play starts, late picks won´t be accepted!

In case of emergencies/pick sending problems: Only in case of circumstances that a tt player cannot send picks to the manager of the tournament one can send his picks to the below e-mail address. The board will be able to access this account and picks sent here will be counted as normal. Please note that it should ONLY be used in emergencies. Also, a person who uses this method of sending picks should alert the tournament manager and a board member as soon as possible because the account won't necessarily be checked every day.

Picks instructions => Please be careful and send picks in the right format, it is really important, especially during the early
rounds, wrong picks => more work for us and that leads to late differences etc., thank you

Note, that names like Zahlavova Strycova, Suarez Navarro or Martinez Sanchez can´t be changed into Sanchez, Navarro or Strycova only!

We will give special instructions if we have two players with the same name on the OOP (Williams,Radwanska,Pliskova etc.)

Copy the names of the players from the official TT OOP to avoid spelling mistakes!

And remember, please be careful and read the instructions which we will give and make sure that you send to the right manager and that you send in time as late picks won´t be accepted!

New Rule in 2013: All matches on the OOP will be SR matches from now on!!!

=> many players don´t have regular doubles partners and search in the thread for a doubles partner for the AO only, that´s why you should
keep your eyes open, many player say " doubles with anyone" or " doubles with someone top 50/100 etc.", please check all posts before you commit then
and maybe find some possible partner for you, then ask him or her as soon as possible and confirm your partnership, as this is important!

=> send a copy of your TT picks to your doubles partner as well (as a reminder to send picks)

=>If you have any question, please ask in the thread or send a PM to Andelko or me, we try to avoid mistakes but they can happen, that´s why
you should also check entry lists, draws, differences etc. and tell us if you think to see some mistake!
